3. Are you a believer in concepts like “believe all women” and “white silence is violence,” and then go on to tell Jews how they should feel about Israel? Do you try to instruct them on the reaction(s) that they should have to statements from people whom they believed were their allies blaming Israelis (and maybe even the world Jewish community) for the events of October 7th, and what has occurred subsequently? Bonus points if you are a member of a minority group engaging in this behavior.

And yet, here you are, telling me how I should think and feel. How about this question: as a Jew, do you automatically and unconditionally conflate your Jewish identity with the state of Israel? Did you protest South Africa's apartheid government during college, protest US policies in Central America during the 80's, protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the aughts, protest with BLM after the murder of George Floyd and yet stay silent in the face of atrocities being committed by the IDF in Gaza and the West Bank?
